#capped compensation

[capricores]

One of the things I struggle with because I attract Aquariuses in general is their refusal to be vulnerable. I find that they prioritize self preservation and control over everything, which imprisons them in their own head when all they crave is love. Lol how you gonna experience love without letting go of control and being vulnerable? Make it make sense. So I guess my question is how do you know get an Aquarius moon to open up/how do you know if an Aquarius moon likes you romantically?

Now THIS is a tough one!! I've dated several Aquarius Moons (they are my Gemini Moon's kryptonite, I suppose...) and I still haven't fully figured it out lmfao. You really hit the nail on the head with your whole ask though, pls!! I felt this message too hard, whenever someone refuses to be vulnerable my little Scorpio Sun is like >:(

Honestly, it can be really difficult to tell when Aquarius Moons are into you, especially if they're also an Aquarius Sun, or another air sign (since they often have naturally flirty personalities majority of the time). As you mentioned, they tend to bury and hide away their feelings due to that fear of vulnerability.

For getting an Aquarius Moon to open up, I think there's a few important things:

Be your authentic self | Aquarians have a pretty good radar for fake people. They tend to hate people-pleasers and those who tone down their personalities to cater to others. Be shamelessly yourself, and in turn, they'll feel more comfortable being themselves

Be vulnerable with them first | Create a safe space for difficult conversations and big emotions! If you show them that you trust them enough to be vulnerable, they may do the same

Don't pressure them | Do not pressure an Aquarius to talk about their emotions, that will make them do the opposite. Remind them and prove to them that they can tell you anything, talk about big feelings, and so forth with you any time they need to

Don't beat around the bush | Be very blunt with Aquarians. They hate sugarcoating and passiveness from others; speak what's on your mind around them and they're more likely to do the same

I would say there's a few signs off of the top of my head, to tell that an Aquarius placement, especially Aquarius Moon, likes you:

They're open about their feelings/are vulnerable around you, at least at times

They bring up personal/sensitive topics that Aquarians usually hate talking about (ie: tough family life, struggles with inner self)

They start getting "clingy" with you (they ask to hang out often, they don't let the conversations burn out, etc)

They do things to intentionally get a reaction out of you! Aquarius placements tend to be very sarcastic + instigate the people they love. They like getting (usually harmless) reactions out of the people they're interested in

They go out of their way to make your life easier. As humanitarian as Aquarius placements are, they're not the biggest "people persons" out there. If they're actively doing small acts of service for you, acting chivalrous (specifically when that's not their typical character; this can really depend on their entire chart) - can be a big sign they're interested in you

They put an effort into your interests: they download the video game you said you liked, they watch the TV series you recommended, they listen to that song you keep looping - even though it may not be their type of thing

If anyone has strong Aquarius placements, feel free to add how you act around the people you have romantic feelings for!

Honestly though, if you want to find out whether an Aquarius Moon likes you, you may have to make the first move (like very very obviously flirt with them) to get their attention/make them realize there's something there, or you may have to flat-out confess your feelings first.

More weirdness my sleep app caught (￣(工)￣) I’m exhausted after yesterday’s market and sleep was body pain and nightmares LOLOLOL

#I sliced part of my foot open a couple days ago and basically took off the entire bottom layer of skin #I’ve done it before when I fell on rocks in Japan so I’m used to it #the mad sciatica and back/hip pain on my right from having to compensate for my left is nuts tho #luckily the skin(?) beneath the peel of my foot has finally hardened so no more stinging #it’s like half the size of a bottle cap. the damage I did in Japan was like a silver dollar pancake haha

Things that can be done by hand: assembling these slippers. I would highly recommend using something to protect your fingers from the thread though. Much like with hand-sewn eyelets, much tensioning is required, and it really does a number on my pinky finger. I used a heavy 30wt silk thread for all of the utility stitching.

Tomorrow i will stitch the vamp insert and heel extension for the other slipper. Hopefully I have enough time to get started on the soles as well. For those, I’m using some goat suede leftover from a bookbinding project from years ago. It can be purchased very affordably from Pergamena. I’m using the thinner weight because it’s what I have on hand, but the heavier stuff might be better for a more durable sole. (It’s also the perfect material for binding stays)

#pancake makes cinderella slippers #i was going to add a heel cap out of my bodice fabric but i fucking FORGOR #and i cannot be assed to redo this stitching #so i guess there won’t be any pretty silk on these slippers #in the eternal words of myth: #the dress always matches the slippers and the slippers are glass and glass is green. therefore the dress is green #in this case i can’t actually make my slippers out of glass so i compensated with beading

Same folks saying “pay your artists” complaining about cost of individualized accessibility aids. The people who spent time training for years and making them deserve paid for their skill too y’all. A lot of the people making them are disabled themselves. 

There is a difference between aids made by a mega-corp and ones made by an individual. 

If you look at an individualized aid and go wow that’s too expensive - that’s pretty discouraging and devalues the work. Maybe comment about how it reminds you about how we should be paying people on disability way the fuck more and not cap their savings instead. Just, food for thought. 

#disability #accessibility #I'm guessing people just don't know #how some of this stuff is made? #brailled items and personalized mobility aids #are the main ones I've seen people comment this on #which is weird #because 9/10 times the person making them #also uses a mobility aid #or is low vision themselves #I'm tired of this idea that disabled people #should all be volunteering for one another #to compensate #for systems that don't want to pay #a living stipend #and caps savings crazy low #it's like people want to learn #the cliff notes version of disability justice #rather than relate to others well #it's...not great #end rant

if I was working a job that required me to be a complete and utter piece of shit to the people around me I'd just kill myself but that's just me I guess

#this is to the person who said i cant wear my shoes at work because theyre not all blavk #do you get joy from this. is this a fufilling job for you. do you see yourself in this position in the future. #do you enjoy seeing the panic and worry and sadness fill a persons mind when you tell them they have to buy something within the next 24hrs #unless they are to face disciplinary action by their managers #do you enjoy watching near minimum wage workers squirm. their bodies tired and exhausted yet continuing to work. #do you enjoy the suffering you see in each store you visit. the problems you will see but never help #i do mean it tho if i had a job that was literally just nit picking and angering people under you i would just kill myself #no amount of money could make me be even just content with making others lives a living hell with demands that do not impact their work #all black shoes (and no trainers) will not make me work faster. it does not improve jow rhe store looks #i understand the company aims for everyone to look the same and be the same but i promise no customer has ever looked at my shoes and said #oh well. that person isnt suitable for this job. i should go and tell their manager about this. im not even sure that they work here #the only time a mention of shoes is necessary is when someone should have steel capped shoes or somethin #even then. thats ppe and if required is something the company must either provide or compensate for if bought by the colleague #treat workers better and maybe we wont actively curse you out and chat shit. maybe we'll do whats asked too. maybe
